In the hospital, as soon as Lu Qinan woke up, he saw Li Qingyao's face.

"Brother Qinan, you're awake! That's great..."

"Slap—"

Before Li Qingyao could finish her sentence, Lu Qinan suddenly slapped her.

"Brother Qinan, what's wrong with you?" Li Qingyao covered her face with one hand, her eyes red and a look of grievance on her face, making people feel a bit sorry for her.

Lu Qinan, however, looked at her with resentment.

"You're really good at acting. If it weren't for you, Ruoruo..."

"Qinan, why did you hit Yao Yao? Don't you know that Yao Yao was with you all night last night?" Lu Qinan's mother came in and scolded Lu Qinan.

"Auntie, please don't blame Brother Qinan. Maybe he's just confused after waking up."

"Look at you. Yao Yao is still protecting you. After you recover, your father and I have decided that you will marry Yao Yao."

"Marry?"

Li Qingyao blushed and said, "Yes, Brother Qinan, my father has always wanted me to marry you. But because of some bad experiences I had in the past, I felt unworthy of you, so I have been refusing my father's proposal. But after this incident, I don't want to miss you anymore. Brother Qinan, I want to marry you."

Lu Qinan's mother looked pleased and said, "Qinan, you've always spoiled Yao Yao since you were little. How could your father and I not know your feelings? Yao Yao took care of you without eating or drinking after hearing about your car accident. Qinan, Yao Yao is a good girl. Her parents and I have talked, and they agree to marry Yao Yao to you. Qinan, you should live a good life with Yao Yao from now on."

"As for that girl..." Lu Qinan's mother's tone turned cold, "I never agreed with her. She even bullied Yao Yao. But now that she's dead, it's for the best. She won't interfere with you and Yao Yao anymore."

Lu Qinan clenched his hands tightly by his side, his veins bulging, but he forced a gentle smile on his face. "Okay, I'll listen to Mom."

Satisfied, Lu Qinan's mother nodded and then left with Li Qingyao, saying they would let Lu Qinan rest well.

After they all left, Lu Qinan suddenly covered his face with both hands and burst into tears.

"Ruoruo, Ruoruo... I love you. How could you leave me..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the empty VIP ward, "What a performance of deep affection, scumbag!"

Lu Qinan abruptly stopped crying and turned his head to look at the source of the voice, his eyes wide with disbelief.
